About: Animals have always brought so much joy to my life. We currently have three amazing rescue dogs. Whenever I talk about adding another to the mix, my husband jokes that we can—as long as we get rid of one first! So, I figured I’d hack the system a bit by offering to help out with your pets instead. Now that my kids are all of driving age, I’ve found myself with a lot more free time. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience helping family and friends with their pets, and I’d love the chance to help you out too. Whether it’s for a weekend away or just a busy day, I’m here to make any time apart from your pet as easy and stress-free as possible. My schedule currently has the flexibility to extend care to your pets as needed. Whether it’s stopping by for a midday walk, keeping your pet company while you’re away, or helping maintain a routine they’re used to, I can easily fit it into the rhythm of my day. I will follow your specific institution when caring for your pet. I know how much our animals mean to us, and I will care for, love and spoil every pet I care for like they’re part of the family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine.

“This is the 2nd time I have used Chloe as my sitter for Harrison. I was gone over a week and she checked on him twice a day.
